1. General Disclaimer
SolHerd is provided for educational and entertainment purposes only. All information, data, calculations, comparisons, and outputs presented by the App are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory.
ADappvark makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, suitability, timeliness, or availability of any information displayed in SolHerd. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk.
2. Not Breeding Advice
SolHerd does not provide professional breeding advice, recommendations, or guidance. The breeding pair calculator, EPD comparisons, and breed data are presented for informational and educational reference only.
SolHerd is not a substitute for the advice and judgement of qualified livestock breeding professionals, geneticists, or breed consultants. Before making any breeding decisions, you should:
- Consult with a qualified livestock breeding professional or geneticist
- Obtain current, verified EPD data directly from the relevant breed association
- Consider all relevant factors including herd-specific conditions, environmental factors, and breeding objectives
- Conduct your own independent research and due diligence
Breeding outcomes depend on numerous genetic, environmental, nutritional, and management factors that SolHerd cannot account for. ADappvark accepts no responsibility for any breeding decisions made, or outcomes resulting from, the use of information displayed in the App.
3. Not Veterinary Guidance
SolHerd does not provide veterinary advice, diagnoses, treatment recommendations, or animal health guidance of any kind.
Nothing in SolHerd should be interpreted as veterinary advice. For any animal health concerns, diseases, injuries, nutritional issues, or welfare matters, you must consult a qualified and licensed veterinarian. Never delay seeking veterinary care based on any information displayed in SolHerd.
4. Not Financial Advice
SolHerd does not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or trading signals. Market data displayed in the App is for informational reference only.
Market data displayed in SolHerd, including cattle prices, auction results, and market trends sourced from USDA, IBGE SIDRA, Eurostat, and World Bank, is provided for general informational purposes only. This data:
- May be delayed, outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate
- Does not reflect real-time market conditions
- Should not be used as the basis for buying, selling, or trading livestock
- Should not be used for financial planning, budgeting, or investment decisions
- Does not account for local market conditions, transport costs, seasonal factors, or individual animal quality
Before making any financial decisions related to livestock, you should consult with qualified financial advisors, agricultural economists, or livestock market specialists who can provide advice tailored to your specific circumstances.
5. Not Agricultural Consulting
SolHerd does not provide agricultural consulting, farm management advice, pasture management guidance, nutritional formulation, or any other form of professional agricultural service. The App is not a substitute for the services of qualified agronomists, farm consultants, or agricultural extension officers.
6. Data Accuracy Disclaimer
All data displayed in SolHerd, including but not limited to breed information, EPD values, market data, and herd calculations, may contain errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. Specifically:

- Market Data: Sourced from government and institutional databases that may have reporting delays, data revisions, or errors. Prices are indicative only and do not represent offers to buy or sell.
- Breeding Calculator: Calculations are based on simplified genetic models and breed-average data. Actual breeding outcomes are influenced by many factors not captured by the calculator.
- Breed Information: Breed descriptions and characteristics are general summaries and may not reflect the full diversity within a breed or the latest breed developments.
You should independently verify all data before relying on it for any purpose.
